My son is currently attending IUP, he was experiencing tingling and numbness in his arms and fingers for a couple of days. He went to the campus nurse who in turn referred him to the emergency to be seen right away. We have insurance so my son went to this dreadful place. They were so focused on testing him for drugs they NEVER took his temperature or inquired about his heart issues. All test come back CLEAN and they send him on his way - I AM LIVID! They sent him away with stroke-like symptoms instead of keeping him for observation. Are you kidding me?! I had a TIA in January so the family history was there. My test too all GOOD BUT they kept me. It's standard procedures when you have STROKE like symptoms how do you not KNOW THIS! I called and was transferred to a Patty who tried to belittle me by talking down to me like I was a child because I questioned why certain procedures that ALL hospitals do (check vitals) was not rendered. I have every right to ask questions because if something happens with my child I will OWN Indiana Regional Med Ctr. When I told her not to talk to me like a child she hung up on me - how rude! Patty should not be working in an establishment such as this. After reading all the other comments, I now KNOW our situation was NOT an isolated occurrence. They treat everyone badly here. I cannot believe this is a Health Center - JUST WOW! Well, I just got started and will be writing to every stakeholder, media outlet and hirer authority to have this place investigated for their awful services. WARNING... Do NOT send your away from home college children to this awful place if they are sick. They are the WORST at customer care and I can assure you many HIPPA Laws have been violated. Dr. McKissick
